The H.G. Wells Society, The Americas is an association of persons interested in the life, works and thought of Herbert George Wells; and more specifically, for those anxious to encourage a wider interest in his writings and ideas. As an American chapter of the International Society our object and aims are largely the same.

As an object, we seek to promote and encourage universally an active interest in, and appreciation of, the life, work and thought of Herbert George Wells.

1. To promote a wider knowledge of the ideas and ideals of H.G. Wells, to assist in their understanding and dissemination, and to do everything possible to secure a wider acceptance of the great constructive ideas with motivated Wells's life and work. The Society is inspired in its work by Wells's vision of the achievement of an order of world society based on the ideals of a full, happy and creative life for all mankind.

2. To encourage a greater interest in the works of H.G. Wells on the part of the press and broadcasting organizations, and to encourage the dramatization, broadcasting and tape-recording of suitable works. To do all in its power to rescue Wells's less-known works from neglect and, in suitable cases, to secure their re-publication.

3. To assist in the collection of all Wellsiana for the H.G. Wells Archive at the University of Illinois, Urbana, and the archives at the University of North London, England.

4. To organize lectures, meetings and conferences here in the United States; to issue publications, and to engage in such other educational work as will assist towards the realization of the Society's aims.

Membership of the Society is open to all who are in agreement with the Society's aims, and who agree to pay an annual subscription price. All members are strongly encouraged to join the International Society as well.

All members will receive a semiannual newsletter, and annual journal The Undying Fire.
